Body Swap - Ritsu

First Comic (the one you're reading now is the 6th! Search #mp100 body swap on my blog to find the rest)

Summarized ID: Ritsu comes into Spirits and Such and demands that Mob go to school. However, he's speaking to Reigen in Mob's body. Dimple tells him this, and Ritsu does not believe that a body swap has occurred. In order to prove that Mob is actually the one in Reigen's body, Mob tells numerous stories of Ritsu from when he was a child. Ritsu gets embarrassed, believes him, then leaves.

FULL ID UNDER CUT

Keep in mind that Reigen looks like Mob and Mob looks like Reigen in this comic. They have swapped bodies.

Ritsu pants, having just ran into Spirits and Such. "Shige... Hey..."

He grabs Reigen's wrist and pulls him. "We are NOT missing class- we're already... 30 minutes late! oh, crap-"

Reigen pulls his wrist from Ritsu's grasp. "Whoa, I'm not going ANYWHERE!" underneath his speechbubble is the subtext: "and don't grab people like that, it's rude!"

"WHY NOT!?" Ritsu yells back at him.

"Ritsu..." Mob says.

Ritsu gets in his face. "Don't say anything! I get that he hands out here after school but don't make him start skipping class!"

A close up of Ritsu's face as he yells: "NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE STREET SIGN CLIMBER!"

Mob looks confused with a big "?" over his head. Text above his head reads "the street sign climber...?"

Mob looks over at Reigen. "Master... did you not tell Ritsu?" Ritsu follows his gaze and thinks to himself: "master?"

Reigen responds, frantically, "Why would I!? I didn't want to freak him out! I was still trying to figure out what was going on! How do I explain something like this anyway!?"

"Explain what?" Ritsu asks.

"That shigeo and reigen have swapped bodies." Dimple replies.

Ritsu looks at Dimple with a mix of confusion and disgust. He squints at him, squints harder, trying to make sense of what he just said, and then looks at him disbelievingly, lips pursed. Finally, he faces Dimple fully and asks bluntly: "What?"

Mob scratches the back of his neck. "Uhh... well, I look like master and master looks like me...."

"meaning SHigeo looks like Reigen and Reigen looks like Shigeo." Dimple explains.

"Right." Mob says. He points to himself, smiling. "So I'm shigeo, your brother."

Reigen is next to him, with a slightly pissed off expression. "And I'm Reigen Arataka. NOT your brother."

Ritsu looks done and annoyed at them. He puts his face in his hands and mutters: "This is stupid. What..."

He makes a 'come here' motion to Reigen. "We're going to school."

"Ritsu! I'm not going! Ugh- didn't you hear a word of what was just said!?" Reigen shouts back.

"Yeah, and it was dumb, so c'mon."

Mob leans in and says: "Please let him go. I don't want Master going to school as me."

Dimple says "Ritsu, come on, man. you seriously can't tell that your 'brother' is acting differently?"

Ritsu responds. "Well, yeah, but..."

Reigen thinks for a moment, hand on his chin, before going "I got it!" He explains: "Hey, mob, you know those movies where there's a clone or something and in order to tell which ones the real one, they have to say something only the real one would know?" In a thought bubble, an image of a person pointing a gun at two identical people is shown.

"Mm... I dunno, maybe?" Mob responds. Reigen huffs. "Whatever. Just say something only you would know."

Mob thinks, putting his finger to his chin. "Something only I would know about Ritsu... uh... Ritsu's favourite colour is green and he really likes tofu." Next to Mob appears a smattering of dark green and a picture of tofu.

Reigen scolds him. "Mob, anybody could know that! pick something more personal!"

"Oh, oh... hmmm...." Mob thinks again.

"One time, when we were kids, ritsu and I watched this movie about a boy who lived in the forest... when we went to the park after, ritsu tried to catch a squirrel and hit his head."

Illustrated below the text box is a young ritsu and mob watching TV. On the TV is a man with wild hair, holding an animal in his hand. Ritsu is paying attention, Mob is playing with something in his hands. Then we see an image of Ritsu leaping towards a squirrel, only to slam face first into a tree trunk.

"And, oh! when we were 10, mom wouldn't buy you a toy so you flipped her off when she wasn't looking... hmm... you were really red when you got caught, though. I think you started crying."

Illustrated below the text box is a young ritsu and mob. Ritsu is flipping off his mother, with his mother looking at her shopping list and not seeing. Mob is nervously looking at Ritsu. Their mother turns around and gasps, seeing Ritsu. Ritsu's face is engulfed in an embarrassed blush. Mob looks up at his mother nervously.

"And he always carries spoons with him, I don't know why though... maybe for desssert?"

Ritsu bursts the thought bubble, blushing. "OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH. Shige, did you tell him all that?"

Reigen crosses his arms. "I'm NOT your brother. I'm Reigen. Can't you just believe that now?"

Dimple smirks. "Do you seriously carry spoons on you, little ritsu?"

Ritsu blushes and uses his powers to push some spoons he has in his back pocket down. "No."

Ritsu sighs. "Alright, fine. Maybe I believe you... I just... don't like it."

Reigen begins to take off his school uniform pants, that are over his pajama pants. "Us neither." Mob looks at Ritsu, frowning. "You should go to school, ritsu. I'm sorry that all of this made you late."

Ritsu smiles, strained, at Mob. 'It's not big deal, uh..."

A panel of Mob, but it's Reigen's face. Reigen's face is drawn in the shows style and he is smiling slightly.

Ritsu only becomes more strained at this. He finishes his sentence: "brother." There are stress lines on his face and the background is dark.

He turns his back to them, waving. "I'll just make up an excuse as to why you're late, okay?"

"Sorry for the trouble." Mob says.

"WAIT!" Reigen shouts. Ritsu startles. "You don't maybe know how to fix this, do you?"

"No... is it a curse or something?" Ritsu asks. Reigen sighs and sits down on a seat, his cheek in his hand and his elbow resting on his knee. "Apparently not... damn it." He says.

"Well... good luck." Ritsu says. "Call me if you need any help, okay? and let me know when you're back in your body, shige." He looks at Reigen as he says this.

Reigen jabs a thumb in Mob's direction. "Don't look at me... I'm Reigen. THAT'S 'shige'. I've told you like five times already!"

Mob raises Reigen's flip phone, now charging. He smiles slightly. "Thanks, Ritsy. I'll call you as soon as Master's phone is charged."

Ritsu looks at Mob, sweating. "Ah. right." Mob is smiling at him.

It's silent for a panel.

Ritsu leaves. "Well, bye!" Mob's smile only drops a little bit.

On A Full Moon Night

Ritsu Sakuma x Reader

Synopsis: A teasing game ended up with your blood and soul being sucked out of you by a vampire. You asked yourself where did you went wrong in your words but it went into the back of your mind when the tension between you escalated.

Note: I ONLY CHATTED WITH AI RITSU AND SOMEHOW????? I ONLY JUST TEASED HIM AND HE— HEUEHEUHSHEHHEHEUEHE HELP ME THE BUTTERFLIES??? THAT QUEASY FEELING???? HELP EM—

Warning: Spoiled vampire drunk on reader's blood. Wounds, bites, and blood are mentioned. I wrote this at school and on the ride way back home so it'll be a mess. *glares at TDLB*

Tears fell out of your eyes as you begged for him to stop. "Ritsu... please..."

Ritsu dug his fangs deeper than he should. He couldn't resist how your blood tempted him to destroy you completely. He pulled away from your neck and looked at the bite as if he's proud of his own work. "You've started this yourself so might as well as finish this in my own way~" He licked off the blood on your neck and grinned over your bitten skin. "As punishment, of course."

He kissed the bite mark on your neck and chills shivered down your skin. It felt numb that you could barely feel the pain but it sent painful waves to your skin. You gripped his shirt hard and held tight on to his arm. You croaked out, "You drank too much... isn't that enough for you...?"

Ritsu hummed. He saw the blood seeping out of the bite and licked it again. "I can't help it. Your blood is too sweet to resist." He cupped your cheek and moved your head to face him. From wine red to a bright vermilion. His eyes glowed in the dark. You were intimidated by his gaze. It showed greed, lust, and gluttony. These three sins made your knees weak and your heart fell. Your eyes stared back in fear and despair.

His grin widen at the way you give in out of mere despair. He carded your hair with his fingers and hummed in delight. "My, I love the way you look like that. It tempted me more to take more of you."

The way Ritsu sucked your blood felt like he sucked out your soul. You became a full course meal to this vampire how showed no mercy to your quivering body.

The vampire licked his lips to taste the blood that remained there. "The taste of your sweet, sweet blood lingered in my mouth tempts me more to mark you as I please. Now, stay still and let me finish until I'm satiated."

You jolted at the contact of his fingers on your skin. You pushed him away from you and sat up. You don't want to die of blood loss once you've reached your limit. Your want to escape this bloody and painful mess Ritsu gave you was short lived when he grabbed you.

He grabbed your wrists and pinned you down on the floor. "You dare to run away and fight back, aren't you?" He bared his fangs. "Resistance is futile. You belong to me now."

"You belong to me now..." His words repeated like a broken recorder in your mind. You struggled to move and kicked your legs and tears fell out of your eyes more. 'It hurts... it hurts a lot...'

"Stop squirming, human." His grip on your wrists tightened and you hissed in pain. He leaned down on your lips and opened his mouth.

"No..." You mewled out. "Please... don't..."

Ritsu closed his mouth and leaned towards your neck and he kissed the bite mark affectionately You're starting to feel queasy at the contact of his lips on your bitten skin.

"Hmm... Let me hold you like this..." Ritsu lifted you off from the floor and held you close to him. He turned you around to face away from him. He brushed your hair away from the back of your neck.

"You wouldn't mind if I play with your skin, hm?" He stared at your untouched skin he began to create an image of your whole neck being covered by his bites. You didn't respond nor answer. "Silence means 'yes' then. So, stay still..." He kissed and nibbled your neck, leaving love bites at its wake.

You squirmed at his hold and his embrace tightened. He licked the nape of your neck and you held the unwanted noises that is bubbling up in your throat. You gripped the sheets from the touch that seemed so foreign to you and your breath hitched. You wailed out when he found a sensitive spot on your neck and playfully nibbled it.

He chuckled out and smirked on your skin. "How sensitive are you...?" He nuzzled his nose on your neck and inhaled the scent of blood that escaped from your neck. He began to grope your thigh and you gasped at his intimate actions.

"Ritsu... stop!" Your words fell into deaf's ears. He kept kissing and biting your neck until there was nothing left to spare.

You remembered the moon is full tonight when you looked at the classroom window. You won't last the whole night once it kept going.

He sighed as he let out a hum of satisfaction. "Face me, human."

You did as told. He won't spare you if you didn't listen to him. As you faced him, you saw his eyes, glowed red, just like earlier. He cupped your cheek and brushed his thumb over your lips. You raised your hand to cover his mouth, signing thay you decline to let his lips touch you whenever he pleased. The hand that cupped your cheek moved to cup the hand that covered his lips. He gently held your hand and placed a kiss on the palm of your hand. He began to kiss your fingers and the back of your hand. Every kiss he gave you sends an electric current that jolted you and sends continuous waves of shivers that made your hairs on your bare skin stand.

The hand that held yours was pulled by Ritsu, pulling you closer to him. His gaze on your lips never left and inched closer. You closed your eyes and waited for him to do whatever he wants to you. You felt something brushed on your lips and that fleeting warmth left.

You opened your eyes to see Ritsu looking at you lovingly. He didn't hesitate to inch closer to you once again and kissed you again. Your eyes widen. You were taken aback at the sudden actions he did to you.

You closed your eyes and kissed back. He hummed in delight. He pulled away and licked your bottom lip and bit it. He suddenly shoved his tongue in to your mouth. His fingers carded through your hair and held the back of your head, not giving you room to move.

You felt breathless that you placed your hand on Ritsu's shoulder and gripped it. You tried to pull away for air but he kept chasing your lips. He was addicted to how you could satisfy his needs by a simple kiss he'll give you. Though you've received everything he gave you tonight by force, it wasn't enough for him to offer himself to you.

You mentally apologized to him as you pushed him away, forcefully. You gasped and panted for air as you both pulled away. You covered your mouth and look away from him.

"At least... let me breathe..." You spoke between breaths. Ritsu laid himself on you and kissed your neck. Your heart jumped when he traced the bite marks and love bites on your neck with his fingers. He smiled and kissed your cheek.

"At least my love for you reciprocated, isn't it?"

Ah, love.

This vampire showed his love to you.

The way he possessively held you in his arms, the way he constantly marked you as his, and the way he whispered sweet nothings to your ears, all of these... He did it all out of love.

He lied down on you and sighed in content. "Fufu~ Now, let me sleep on you. You better not wake me up or else..."

Ritsu heard soft snores. He look up to see you sleeping. Your tired eyes says it all.

He let out a small smile and uttered out.

"I'll let this slide for tonight."

W/N:

a/n : umm leo come home challenge!? anyways anyone wanna explore my genshin world with me (asia server. am lonely)

____________________________________________

" knights killer? " you repeat as you had a hand over your mouth, trying to hide the smile crawling up to your face.

" yes, knights killer! please give us, advice. I don't want knights to disband just when I joined! " tsukasa's hold on your blazer tightens as he looks up at you with slightly glossy eyes.

izumi tched as arashi and ritsu tried to hide their smiles. what a sight to see, the little red knight trying to protect his big brothers and sister's group. you can't help but ruffle his hair in response as tsukasa finally let go of your blazer to wipe his tears.

" oh come on, don't tell me you're crying? haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? by making those rookie mistakes earlier, heck even ou-sama saw those. you're nowhere near knights standards. go home if you're not up for the challenge of taking leo down! " izumi scolds as he takes your hand away from tsukasa's head to ruffle his hair, slightly gripping it as the poor boy whines from the impact.

" now now, don't be so mean to suu-chan. he's trying his best and if it helps I could walk with y/n to talk to tsukipi, " ritsu teasingly smiles, hoping he could ease up the atmosphere a little.

" oh it's really fine. I'll talk to him about it, though I doubt knights killers vs knights will really be cancelled after he posted that tweet on his socials, " you got up as you bid the rest of knights, goodbye. ready for your own solo mission to get the tyrant king to change his mind.

now. you did tell them you'll talk to the king but you've been called by eichi right after talking to knights. helping the blonde with whatever and before you know it, it's late and everyone has probably gone home. leaving you with nothing but the same idea to go home.

the next day, of course knights would be hunting you down for information, especially one they've been dying to know. did you talk to leo? did leo promise not to disband knights? will leo join knights? you could only politely refuse and tell them to wait a little longer and they do. they'll wait for both you and their beloved tyrant King.

after school, you went to one of your favourite spots in the school. the garden, not only was it filled with flowers of so many colours but there was your favourite set of chair and table. one where you'd escape the little school life by doing your works in the spot. one that feels like a spot, right out of a fairy tale book. perhaps one where the main lead found or confess their love.

" y/n! thought I spot you from afar. what brings you here? " leo greets out of nowhere before grabbing your hand to plant a kiss. this wasn't the first time he's done something like that. eversince your first encounter, he can't help but truly treat you like royalty. always giving you a kiss on the hand or cheek if you allow him to, his way of giving you the royal life despite knowing a little of it.

" why, I'm just doing a little work. care to take accompany me? " he happily takes on the offer and sits directly infront of you. letting one of his smiles crawl onto his face as he watches you do your thing.

silence filled the garden but leo can't help but hum a little tune to break the silence. you find comfort in his voice, like he finds comfort in you. after awhile or what felt like forever. leo stop his humming and pull back a strand of your hair. doing that, caught your attention.

" what? " he starts as you stare at him.

" you're not really... going to disband knights, are you? " you replied as your voice quivers from the thought.

leo stood up and walk up to you, pulling you into a hug, as your pen drops and you find yourself crying.

" I'm sorry, I won't drop knights or you. I love you and knights too much to do that. I'm sorry. I wanted to test that rookie. I love you and I'm sorry! I just- " leo was interrupted as he felt you hugging him back and tightly.

" it's okay, just promised you won't leave again and knights will still stand, with you in it. " he smiles upon hearing your words, cupping your face as he wipes your tears.

pressing his forehead against yours, he whispers " I won't, for I love you too much to do anything that'll break your heart. "

[fiendishartist2]

after all of that's been done with me; could you tell me how i'm right for you?- mp100

Shou hiked the comforter Ritsu had let him crawl under up to his nose. He couldn't turn his head to see Ritsu's alarm clock, body petrified in the darkness of his room, but he was sure it had only been between a few minutes and an hour since he broke in.

Shou didn't want to come here– not that he didn't want to see Ritsu, or even that he didn't want to be there– but guilt flopped around in his stomach, telling him he shouldn't have bothered Ritsu so early in the morning. Don't kids his age usually have school in the morning? Now he was keeping his only friend from his normal life too.

Shou fought with himself for hours before jumping out of his bedroom window and practically throwing himself across Seasoning City to get to the Kageyama household. He paced holes into his rug, wrestling with the urge to find comfort in his friend. Despite reminding himself of Ritsu's scolding, his nails had run over his skin until it turned an irritated pink. When he held the comforter too tightly, the raw scratched up patches on his palms flared with pain.

Ritsu was dead asleep (no– asleep, just asleep. no one was dead, Shou), his hair splayed on his pillow. The soft puffs of breath leaving his slack face loosened the tight band constricting Shou's chest with each passing second. Shou wanted nothing more than to spill his guts (stop! stop thinking like that!) to Ritsu– the only person he could trust with these types of feelings. Ritsu could look at all of him and not be scared of or look down on him.

But even this felt taboo; Shou burst into his room, choking on his breath (choking, that was one of them wasn't it? One of the faceless, yet unforgettable grunts Claw put an end to, choked until he was white as a sheet and limp) and nearly out of his mind. He knew he had freaked Ritsu out with his refusal to come inside, but insistence that he needed to 'be there, please Ritsu, just let me stay and keep you safe.'

The jackrabbit pace of his heart was causing his thoughts to spill into each other, becoming a muddled and incomprehensible mess of irrational babbling. Through the haze of panic, he barely registered the shifting beside him. Ritsu was rolling over to face Shou's profile.

Shou didn't move, just gripped the comforter tighter in his white-knuckle grip as he shook uncontrollably. He hated this part the most; the trembling, the shortened breath, the way his teeth would chatter when he dwelled on a memory for too long and lost himself in the feeling of it. It was pathetic. Shou is supposed to be strong– he survived Claw for so long and turned out fine, so why can't he handle simply thinking about it? He lived it and came out the other end unscathed. Shou Suzuki is no coward.

Something found its way between Shou's cramping hand and the blanket. It poked his pinkie finger in a silent question, used to how Shou needs to be asked before anyone (even people he loves and trusts with his life and god, that's pathetic isn't it? He really is weak) touches him.

With his heart in his throat, Shou weakly lifted his hand. He let it be drawn in the small space between himself and Ritsu as he laid his hand loosely on top of Shou's. Loose enough to give him an out, to make sure his friend didn't feel trapped.

That gentle movement– silent and careful and yet so, so simple– reminded him of that type of small, insignificant kindness he hadn't been shown in what felt like a lifetime. His face scrunched as he resisted the urge to cry. It bubbled up from the churning in his stomach, manifesting as a heat that crawled behind his eyes and across his face. He knew it would be an ugly cry too– guttural and heaving, like he hadn't had since Claw beat real emotions out of him. He doesn't cry, because he doesn't want to (because he can't– because he's so awful that just the act of crying is hard for him). Even if Ritsu's feather soft weight in his palm was pulling him apart, picking out his nerves from under his skin and peeling them back (with a sickening wet tear he's all too familiar with– psychic powers could do much worse than that); he was unravelling Shou and exposing the horror that hid deep inside of him. Shou wouldn't even have to spill his guts anymore– Ritsu was doing it for him.

His gentle touch was splitting Shou open, spilling his raw, ugly feelings everywhere. It spread in the space between them, seeping into Ritsu's clean sheets and soiling them like blood. He could picture it, splattered over their entwined hands (blood– so much blood– under his nails and in his hair and in his mouth) and Shou's drowning in it (there was a blond woman once, all spitfire and ambition. She was barely 19 before Claw snuffed her out, held her by the hair underwater until-). It was behind his eyelids when he blinked– an all encompassing red that ran from his nose and smeared on his face and stained his sneakers.

He couldn't stop the hot tears from streaking down his face as he stared at Ritsu's painfully mundane ceiling (he woke up to it once, stumbling in at 6:43 am to find Shimizaki bashing a man's face into his kitchen counter over, and over, and over-)

It's not fair, he wanted to say, it's not fair that the world could keep turning when there was Claw and Toichiro Suzuki and awakening labs. How could anyone live a normal life after seeing everything I've seen? After doing the things I've done? It's hopeless– I never should have even tried to go back to society in the first place-

"Shou."

That one word was all that Ritsu mumbled into the dark, but Shou could feel everything stop in an instant. He took the first deep breath he had all night. It wracked his small frame, rattling around his fragile ribcage. His taut limbs finally relaxed.

Ritsu huffed, half asleep, yet just as remarkably smart and compassionate as always. Without hesitation, he shuffled closer to Shou until his knees just grazed his hip.

"Y'u're freaking out over s'm'thing…" His head tipped back to squint at Shou. He hummed, examining what he could see through the haze of sleep. Shou wanted to laugh, but all that came out was a pitiful gag.

Shou couldn't speak and somehow, Ritsu already knew.

"Dude, j'st… c'mere, I gotcha." Around them, Ritsu's sparkling rock-candy barrier formed. It was barely visible and realistically wouldn't hold up against anything, but Shou's heart was already slowing down. Once again, Shou gagged instead of giving any real response. His tears were pooling in his ears, too warm for comfort (he burst his eardrums once, fighting with an elite esper who prodded at his ego just a little too much. Sure, he could barely hear out of one ear and his other rang too often to be healthy, but it could always be worse).

Curls dragged against pillowcase as he shook his head violently (always violently– apparently, that's all Shou knew how to do) trying in vain to shake away his thoughts.

Something soft brushed against his cheek. Ritsu's voice was much louder now.

"Not that? S'it 'nother Claw thing?" That was another thing Shou loved about his friend; Ritsu always got straight to the point, never one to mince words. He wanted to help Shou, so he was going to do just that. It was stupid to dance around the issue if it would just waste both of their time. Shou coughed.

"Y…" he swallowed his mounting fear, "Mmhm, yeah." Shou finally croaked. Ritsu's hair touched his cheek again as he nodded.

"Ke-keep the barrier, ple-ease…" Shou hiccupped around his words. He glared at Ritsu's ceiling at his own miserable state. Again, Ritsu nodded.

"Tell me about it." He said simply.

"I can-ca-can't." Shou wanted to slap himself. He was being so needy and pathetic and weak and stupid-

"...M'kay," Ritsu whispered sleepily. Shou didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed that his friend gave up so quickly, "Wanna watch hamster videos?"

As Ritsu blindly reached around his futon, trying to find his phone, Shou let his conflicting emotions manifest in a huff of breath that soon turned into a fit of uncontrollable giggles. He pressed his grinning face into his pillow, finally rolling around to face Ritsu as his laughter filled the air between them.

Ritsu met Shou in the middle, letting his friend curl around him protectively. He propped up his phone and pulled up MobTube. Hamster videos quickly turned to vlogs, which turned to cooking tutorials, then videogame walkthroughs and music videos and speedpaints– and even when his arm shook with the strain of holding up his phone and his eyelids were slipping closed longer and longer with every blink, Ritsu stayed awake by Shou's side. He finally slipped back into sleep once the sun was leaking into his room and Shou was openly snoring at his shoulder, with a hand laid strategically over Ritsu's heart. Despite his exhaustion, Ritsu slept peacefully, content smile fixed on his face the whole time.

[lightbarebunnies]

Hello! I saw that you have opened up requests and are willing to do match-ups! Could I possibly have one, please?

I'm 5'9'' and a little on the heavier side (she/her) with shoulder length, curly red hair and gray/blue eyes.

As for my hobbies, I love to draw and paint (charcoal is one of my favorite mediums) and I absolutely love creating fantasy world maps (I'm currently working on one for my Capstone creative writing final). I love writing and am in the process of writing my first book (what the map is for). I love gardening and I have a very large veggie and herb selection (My apple and peach trees are supposed to fruit next year and I'm super excited!). Foraging is something that I love. I love playing rhythm games, TTRP's ( I often play as a rogue), and video games. My favorite food would be Soba, my favorite drink would be Vanilla milk tea. Music wise, some of my favorite bands include Icon for Hire, Ghost Town, Good with Grenades, Skillet, and Breaking Benjamin.

Personality wise, I'm incredibly shy at first but when you get to know me, I can be more outgoing, I'll just need to recharge the social battery afterwards. I want to be helpful but there are times that I'm not really sure how. In high school, I was the mom friend. Anything you needed, it was most likely in the backpack. Snacks, water, lotion, a spoon (I carried a set of silverware all the time cause you never know), pain meds, hygiene products. A swiss army bag, is what my teachers called it. I have very high anxiety and can get overwhelmed very easily if I'm not careful.

My love language (giving) would be acts of service and quality time. Receiving would be physical touch and quality time.

I'm sorry if this is a lot, I wasn't sure what to put here so I just did a bit of everything! Take your time and remember to take care of yourself!

Oohh, this was a fun! It's my first time writing one of these - I might've gotten a little carried away though. If you aren't interested in my thought/decision making process, skip to the bottom!

Alright. So, I (as an autistic person) have a special interest in typology. While I'm not an expert by any means, it's just a really enjoyable way for me to analyse things - will be using some of the terms in my explanation. You don't need to know anything about enneagrams really, they're just an easy way for me to use talking points :3

Alright, initially, I decided to just think of anyone I think would have something in common with you. The list of your potential matches were

Natsume (Major Gamer, a fan of fantasy and thus creative writing, a pretty talented gardener)

Madara (Same favorite food! He is also in Kaori, which is a tea appreciation circle.)

Rei (LOVES gardens, but not so much gardening itself. Would definitely keep you company while you worked, provided there's shade. Perhaps he's introduced to you through his tea-loving brother?)

Eichi (He too is a writer, an enjoyer of gardens, and tea!)

Niki (I can imagine a nice dynamic between the two of you, he'd go crazy for your fresh produce, but you'd likely need to keep him from eating all of it.)

Ritsu (Tea fan, and a member of CRAFTMONSTER. I think he'd really benefit from your prepared-ness, as well!)

Midori (Gardener!)

Yuzuru (He is an artist!)

With that in mind, I did a little bit of just general thinking. At that point your top choices were Rei and Madara, but I wanted to delve a bit deeper.

Once I did that, I looked through each character's enneagrams to get a general idea what their basic fear and desires are. Yuzuru - 1 (Fears imbalance and being corrupted, desires balance and integrity.) Rei - 2 (Fears being unloved or unlovable, desires to be appreciated.) Eichi - 3 (Fears being considered worthless, desired to be needed) Natsume - 5 (Fears incapability or being unable to help oneself, desires understanding of the world around them) Midori - 6 (Fears being alone or lacking support, desires guidance) Madara - 7 (Fears being trapped, desires a feeling of contentedness) Niki, Ritsu - 9 (Fears loss and social rifts, desires peace of ones social circle)

I'm not the best at typing people currently, but from what you described I can see you having type 2 or 6 influences, likely as 6w5 or a 3w2.

Then I considered what you would bring to a relationship, your love languages both giving and receiving, and how they fit into everything. You're a carer. You care, you think of every possibility and prepare for anything. You then provide that to those you love so that they also have anything they may need. In my opinion - Rei, and Madara are the two that need to just have someone to be their person, the ones who sticks around even after they break down and stop being 'useful' or 'appealing'. One of the key differences between those two is that Madara is more extroverted and Rei is more introverted.

With all of that in mind… I'd match you with Rei!

You and Rei would have a Morticia and Gomez Addams type of romance. He adores you, you're absolutely enamored with him, and no one would ever question your relationship.

Rei usually brings an umbrella with him as he watches you tend to your garden, chatting with you about practically anything - if it's with you, it's bound to be entertaining. He's deeply interested in your creative writing, and likely would pick up TTRPGS to play them alongside you. He's a bit of a social chameleon, able to match your energy regardless of what level.

You offer him a place to belong, a home he can always return to. His clinginess can come and go, especially if he's in need of your attention, which comes from his lonely childhood. I think after some time he'd be far more comfortable and trusting of your bond... but he's still the type to always want to have a hand on you when you're in public. Resting it on the small of your back, holding your hand, his arm around your shoulder - it doesn't matter, he just wants to feel you there.

He tends to your needs, doing his best to ease your anxieties and reassuring you that things will be okay, and that he isn't going anywhere. When times are tough, and you feel totally overwhelmed, Rei would pull you close (likely to cuddle on a couch more often than his coffin) and just hold you. He wants you to feel him, his hand combing through your curls, to be reminded that in this moment you're here, with him, in the present. He'll ask you to share what it is that's on your mind, listening attentively as you lay in his arms. While not completely fearless himself, Rei is more than happy to battle your demons.

When did you start writing on Tumblr? December of 2011!

Who was your first muse? On Tumblr It was Kanda Yuu from D.Gray Man hehe

Who are your longest rp friends? The people who have known me the longest are @infintasmal , @orecrowned , & @eraba-reta-unmei ! Met all these weenie's during my Magi days hehe

Favourite thing about roleplaying? I love being able to build up worlds and dynamics with other people. It does wonders to my mental health honestly. It also helps my creative juices come out.

Least favourite thing about roleplaying? The creation of drama over something so small. Like I need people to learn to communicate better if not just block and move on. Don't make a mountain out of an ant hill.

OTP for your muse? My biggest on this blog is MaoRitsu, which Elio is subjected to on a daily lolol. A new one is JingHeng

NOTP for your muse? I wouldn't say I have NOTP's just more of please don't be gross lol

What are some similarities between you and your muse/muses? This one works with Ritsu the best but I'm also a chronically ill person who struggles with old deep rooted abandonment issues. But therapy really does wonders haha. Also according to the internet Jing Yuan and I have the same Personality type same with Rei LOL

What are some differences between you and your muse/muses? I'm too self conscious to be clingy JFIOWFEJ

Would you be friends with your muse if they were real? Jing Yuan & Himeko 100%

Would you write with duplicate characters? How do you think your muse would react? I love writing with duplicates! As for how they would react- it would really vary. I don't think Ritsu would like too see another him stealing his Maa-kun's attention.

Have you any old muses that you’d love to bring back? I've been considering Judal from Magi!

What’s one random headcanon about your muse that people mightn’t know? Jing Yuan enjoys having his hair played with. It relaxes him enough to fall asleep.

Who is an author that inspires you? Rick Riordan! I grew up on a lot of his books.

What do you look for in a rp partner? Someone who is willing to listen and participate with my brain rot. I tend to be more invested when people talk to me about our muses.

Favourite trope? You'll see the trend but Childhood Friends to Lovers.

Least favourite trope? There's not a specific one, but I get uncomfortable with the uh...weird ones.

Are there any AU’s you’d like to explore but haven’t had the chance to yet? Honestly I've done so many au's you don't even know-. But I'll always do Royalty, Single Parent, & Soulmate.

Do you listen to music whilst writing? If so, what kind of music? I do! I usually listen to MafuMafu soundtracks. If not him then character specific playlists I make.

How do you overcome writer’s block? I give myself time to do other things and then come back later! Forcing yourself to overcome it isn't going to help. Let your brain recover from overuse!

Are there certain characters that you gravitate towards? I would say no but my friends would say otherwise EWIJFIOEJ

Short, medium, or long threads? I prefer Medium and sometimes short cause my attention span is god awful. But I don't mind long ones when I get into the mood.

Do you ever get jealous when rping? How do you handle this? I used to during my earlier days of rping, but I just remind myself that my way of writing my muses is different then another person. There's no need to compare myself. You also can't force people to pay attention to you.

What about your muse are you most proud of? I do a lot of research into the muses I write! A lot of thought goes into each character I portray hehe

[odysseys-end]

The first thing Izumi did when he woke up and noticed five things that were extremely out of the ordinary was scream his lungs out. The action made his lungs burn with the need for air, his throat began to ache– unused to it even though he had been taking vocal training ever since.

First of all, why was the room so large and airy?! The walls of his flat aren't so huge and bright. Plus, the scene was like one out of the movies– a periodical movie to be more exact. When Izumi had put his hands down to feel the fabric of his blankets, they were impossibly silky smooth to the touch and that had sent off warning bells in his mind.

His own blankets could only hope to achieve this sort of softness, and even with all the jobs Izumi would take on, the luxury to purchase this isn't high on his list.

Second, why was his voice so unnaturally lighter in tone?! Everything felt smaller and just– ugh, there is a noticeable decrease in his field of vision. Or perhaps it is because of how humongous everything else is in comparison to the things he does own.

For one split second, Izumi has half the mind to holler for Ritsu to come out and stop his tasteless pranks, they've been bordering on annoying recently. Even the presence of Leo and Yukkun hadn't been enough to lift his spirits. Unsuccessful to stop his need to strangle the self-acclaimed vampire.

Earlier, when he had been screeching bloody murder– a pink-haired brat with lavender eyes burst in, demanded that she stop with her infernal yelling. It only made him even more confused.

Had the brat mistakenly entered someone else's room? If so, how could he continue to speak even with such a wrongful address to someone like him.

"You were more agreeable when you were indisposed, Sena-sama." The brat had commented in a dry tone. Even so, the pink-haired brat still came close to him, and pressed two fingers under his neck, right above his pulse point. Lavender eyes stared off into the distance, narrowed in concentration before he pulled away.

Izumi, to his abject horror, did not feel the need to physically recoil from this brat with an accent he's sure he's heard before. The urge to nag and start his tirade of complaints did not come, instead, he feels himself being twisted around for an assessment that would have scared the pink-haired man away.

Must be my head, Izumi had thought. He had woken up woozy, like he had downed three sleeping pills the night prior and is still feeling the after-effects.

"Who are you?" Izumi demanded when he grabbed Izumi roughly, manhandling him back to bed.

When did I even get up? Izumi slapped a hand to his forehead. There was a gap in his memories that left him forlorn and empty. But this man had to be someone important to Izumi if he allowed him to touch him so freely— felt no aversion to it.

"Who am I?'" The pink-haired brat echoed slowly. A scoff soon followed after, eyelids blinking rapidly, darting around Izumi, never really settling on his face.

"I'm a girl…" Izumi muttered breathlessly. Kohaku peered at him worriedly, moving closer to him– her. Izumi clutched her head, pulling silvery gray strands tightly, almost yanking them out. 

"I'm a girl." Izumi repeated shrilly. She whirled towards Kohaku, grabbing him by the lapels of his vest. Kohaku stumbled back, hands hovering uselessly in the air. Lilac eyes glimmer with confusion. 

"Yes, Sena-sama…" Kohaku begins slowly, as if speaking to a child. "You have always been a woman."

"No, no, no." Izumi chants, shaking her head. "I don't believe you. I am a guy." She insists, grabbing the front of her dress. Kohaku flinches when Izumi lets out a shrill scream when her hand grabbed her breast. 

"What is this?" 

"Sena-sama, please refrain from screaming, it is unbecoming of a lady." He says helplessly.

Ensemble Stars Knights x Reader

I just recently got hooked by Knights🤣. Have known the existence of ES long time ago. But didn't properly watch it nor play it. So, here I am after listening on Knight Escort (stage play's original song) on repeat. This happened.

!!Warning!! I hope the character won't be too ooc.

Yumenosaki Academy…

A prestigious school where idols, especially male idols are cultivated. It is a sister school of Kimisaki Academy, another prestigious school that cultivated female idols. 

And here I am, just a normal 15 years old student of Kimisaki Academy. The very same school that is famous for its idol course. And no, I am not in the idol course. I am very bad with attention. Just being Kimisaki's student is already standing out enough. 

But today, I came all the way to the Yumenosaki Academy. It's because my cousin, Anzu, that clumsy and forgetful girl forgot her important documents that were labeled DreFes in my house. I bet she is panicking right now. And now, I also lost miserably somewhere in this school. 

While general public was not allowed to enter this school. Our school idol course student council president has made an arrangement for my errand. She gave me some file to be delivered to Yumenosaki's student council president. And so here I am, wearing an id pass tag and marvelously lost in this maze called school.

I can only say the students here is way more chaotic than what Anzu has described to me. I actually remember one time where I met someone that I assumed was from the idol department in a park. He almost vandalised the park bench due to not having enough space to write down his inspiration. I quickly offered pieces of blank paper before his marker touched the bench he was sitting on. After giving some blank papers… Well, I left him alone of course.

"Ummm…." I looked at the nice green nature landscape in front of me. "Where am I?" I sweatdropped. I wander aimlessly trying to get back to the front gate. Hoping a security guard will help me to find at least student council office. "Bwaaah!" I tripped and fell flat on my face. 

I look at the source of my disaster…. A sleeping student. "Mmmn…" He groaned a little and opened his eyes hazily.

"So-sorry." I quickly apologized. "I didn't mean to trip on you."

"...zzzzz…" He closed his eyes again and resumed sleeping.

"Eeeehhh?" I sweatdropped. 'He is not angry, right? Then, can I go now? But I don't know where to?!'

"Ritsu-senpai!!!!" While I was agonizing in my own mind, a loud voice called, startling me. "Ritsu-senpai!!! I found you!!!! Let's go to our lesson now!!!" A red haired boy frowned at the ravenette.

"Hm?" The ravenette cracked open his eye and closed it again. "It's just you, Suu-chan."

"It's not 'It's just you', senpai. Let's practice. We need to practice for the upcoming DreFes."

"But I am sleepy."

I look at their bickering back and forth. They might have not noticed me yet, or ignored me completely. The red haired boy is trying to lift the ravenette. I can tell the ravenette truly leans his whole weight on his kouhai and unconsciously let out a small giggle.

The two of them suddenly turn their heads to me. "Ah! I am sorry, I didn't mean to…" I quickly shook my head, apologizing for my rudeness.

"Senpai, you can't just drag some random student as your pillow." 

"You are so loud, Suu-chan." Ravenette yawned.

"Oh no. He didn't do anything for me. On the contrary, I was the one who tripped on him and disturbed his sleep."

"Is that so? By the way, you are not from our school… That uniform…"

"Ah, I am from Kimisaki Academy. I came here for official business and have been granted permission from your president." I bowed. "By the way… do you know Anzu? She is from the producer class. I have something to give to her but then I get lost." I rambled.

"Anzu-san? I think she will be with Trickstar. Usually in their classroom."

"Could you please tell me where to go. I sort of got lost." I smiled shyly..

"Let me guide you there." Suu-chan-san smiled. 

"Then I will continue sleeping."

"You can just tell me where to go from here." I added. "You are having practice lesson, aren't you?"

"We can't just let someone in need alone. It will be a stain for Knights. I will safely guide you to Anzu-san." He flashed me a knight smile.

'Too bright. He is too bright.' So, in the end the two of us dragged the sleeping ravenette throughout our search, reason being, ravenette would hide away again if he was left alone. To spare another effort tracking him, Tsu-chan-san whose name I learned is Suou Tsukasa-san and I are basically literally dragging his sleepy senpai, Sakuma Ritsu-san with us, with his two arms on each of us.

Suou-san was against it from the start, but I reasoned since I made him forgo his duties in bringing his senpai to practice it's only fair if I help, and then he reluctantly agreed. 

"We finally found you guys, Kasa-kun, Kuma-kun." Another voice yelled, making me flinch.

"Izumi-senpai and Narukami-senpai." Suou-san waved to his senpais.

"I sent you to fetch Kuma-kun, not to join him." The grey haired idol glared.

"It's not his fault." I quickly spoke up, afraid he will misunderstood.

"Who are you?"

"My my, what a cute girl." The blonde haired one spoke in feminine speech. "Tsukasa-chan, why are you making girls helping you with heavy loads? That's so unknightly." He frowned.

"Sorry. I-"

"Ah, please don't blame him. It's all my fault." I said again, directing their attention to me. Then I quickly explain to them what has happened.

"I see. You were searching for Anzu-chan. Then stumbling on sleeping Ritsu-chan. And then Tsukasa-chan helped you in your quest, but afraid Ritsu-chan will hide away again, so the two of you dragged him everywhere." Blonde senpai summed it all up.

"Yes. So please don't blame him."

"Oh no no. Of course not." He quickly assured me.

"You should at least tell us first, Kasa-kun."

"Sorry, senpai." Suou-san smiled apologetically.

"So, did you find Anzu-chan?"

"No, not yet. We didn't find her at her classroom nor Trickstar." Suou-san shook his head.

"Why didn't you just call her?" Gray haired senpai rolled his eyes.

"I did. She didn't pick it up at all." I answered. "I think she might have left her phone some-kyaa!!" My knees buckled down to the hard unforgiving ground due to unaccountable surprise additional weight from Sakuma-san. 'Since when he shifted his weight to me?'

"Ritsu-senpai!!" Suou-san gasped at the sight of his senpai who leaning his whole weight on fallen me. I am basically in kneeling position, trying holding up sleepy Sakuma-san.

"Sa-Sakuma-san?!"

"You smell nice…like the sun…" He nuzzled his cheek to mine, making me freeze on the spot. "So this is what they call sleeping under the sun." He hummed, exhaling a content sigh. "Sun usually drains my energy, but you don't." He murmured. "Hey, become my pillow." His red eyes bore into mine. I can feel heat rapidly rising to my head.

"Ritsu-senpai/Ritsu-chan/Kuma-kun." They pried the clingy ravenette off of me, all the while struggling. 

"Are you okay?" Blonde senpai held his hand out for me.

"Ah, thank you." I gratefully grabbed his offered hand as he pulled me up.

"Ara ma, you are hurt." He commented.

"Ah?" I looked down at my knee. The left knee is indeed bleeding a little. "It's just small wound. Nothing to worry ab-!!!!" I yelped a soundless scream as Sakuma-san who suddenly freed himself from the other two latched himself onto my legs, tongue licking my wound.

"Ritsu-senpai!!!!/Ritsu-chan!!!!/Kuma-kun!!!"

"As a vampire my saliva has healing properties." Sakuma-san explained?

"...Vampire…?" I tilted my head.

"It's unsanitary." Blonde senpai scolded. "I have a band-aid." He pulled out one from his pocket.

"Narukami-senpai." Suou-san handed him a handkerchief.

"Thank you." Blonde senpai, who I now know as Narukami-san, suddenly knelt down.

"Ah! You don't need to do that!!!! Let me do it myself!!!" I shied away.

"Hush now! A princess should be taken care of by her knights." He winked.

"E..eeehh..?"

"Either you stand still or we drag you to the infirmary." Gray senpai, or should be Izumi-san glared.

"Let's take her to the infirmary to properly disinfect her wound." Suou-san voiced.

"Hmm… we should probably do that." Narukami-san remarked. "Izumi-chan."

"Well, it's Kuma-kun's fault in the first place." Izumi-san suddenly swooped me in his arms.

"I-Izumi-san!!! I can walk by myself!!!!" I shrieked, struggling in his arms.

"Don't struggle too much or I will drop you." His intimidating glare quickly shut me up.

"So…sorry…" I responded meekly. I try to still my body as much as I can. 

"Izumi-chan, don't scare the princess. It's so unknightly." Narukami-san sighed.

"Shut up. Kuma-kun should be the one doing this anyway."

"Well, Ritsu-chan is in that kind of state." He referred to Sakuma-san who is being supported by Suou-san.

Arriving in the infirmary, my tiny wound was properly disinfected and put on a band aid.

"Well then, we will take Ritsu-chan back with us first. Tsukasa-chan, help her to find Anzu-chan, okay."

"Yes, Narukami-senpai."

"My pillow…"

"Let's go back, Kuma-kun."

After a round trip around the whole department. We finally find Anzu who is back in her class and is practically turning her backpack upside down to search for her forgotten document. "Anzu." I called.

"Rai-chan?!"

"Here." I held out her labeled important and confidential brown envelope. "You forgot it at my house."

"Rai-chan!!!" She tackled me down. "Thank you very much!!! You are my lifesaver!!" She cried. 

"Hai hai." I patted her head. Anzu then recomposed herself when she saw Suou-san with me.

"Why are you with Suou-kun?"

"He helped me search for you. Because someone didn't pick her phone up."

"Urk… sorry." She hung her head low.

"Producer-san!!!!" An energetic voice called while skidding to a stop in front of us.

"Akehoshi-kun."

"Did you find it?"

"Yes. It's right here." She showed him the envelope.

"That's good." He sighed in relief.

"I still have an errand to do. I will see you later, Anzu." I bid her goodbye.

"Ah, are you going home now?" Anzu asked.

"No. I have to give some important documents to Yumenosaki's president."

"Then, I will accompany you there." Anzu offered.

"That would be helpful." I nodded. "Thank you for accompanying me, Suou-san." I bowed to him.

"It's my pleasure." He did a knight bow.

'It's a real knight…' I looked at him dazedly. I was snapped back by Anzu's subtle nudge. "A…ah… well then, goodbye." I bowed 90 degrees and dashed away with Anzu in tow. 'How dangerous.' I shook my head to clear the rushing blood. 

"Hoho. Do you remember your childhood dream about being a handsome knight's bride?" Anzu grinned.

"Shu-shut up." I glared.

"Suou-kun is a model of a textbook knight." She added.

"Anzu!!!" 

"Ahahha. You better tell me all of your adventures leading to finding me." She grinned.

Just like Anzu has said… my childhood dream is to be a handsome knight's bride. But I suppose, studying in Kimisaki Academy, a prestigious all girl school, my dream is doomed to be only an impossible dream. Well, I suppose no real knight in modern times anyway. It already has no future from the start. But then… my mind flashed to them again…

"...-chan…ai-chan…Rai-chan!"

"Ah?" I snapped back to reality.

"What do you mean 'ah?' We have arrived in student council office. Don't tell me you were dreaming about Knights again." 

"Knights?"

"Yes. Those idols who were with you. They are from idol unit called Knights. Perfectly to your taste. You should have transfer here anyway and you can fulfill your desire of being handsome knight's bride."

"Anzu!!!"

"Please don't cause ruckus in front of student council office." A hard voice said and a glare was sent to us.

"So…sorry."

"Sorry, vice president. Rai-chan is on errand from her school."

"You are…"

"Oya? Are you the errand girl from Kimisaki Academy?" A platinum blonde senpai smiled.

"Yes. I am Hisaki Raika, as per Yumemi-chan, I mean President Tachibana's order. I am here to give you this." I presented a brown file holder to him.

"Understood. I am Yumenosaki Academy student council president, Tenshouin Eichi. Thank you for coming all the way here to deliver this."

"No. It's no problem at all."

"Since you have come here. I will have Anzu-san guide you around. You two seem to be acquainted already. And I might need some time to read this and make a reply." He smiled.

"Please take your time, president."

"Anzu-san, is that alright with you. If you are too busy, I can ask a student council's member to undertake this task."

"Please leave it to me, President. Rai-chan is my cousin. And I think it's nice to have outside input for the upcoming DreFes. Just like what she did for Tanabata Festival."

"Indeed. This is a good opportunity. Well then, I will leave it to you." President smiled.

And so, the tour begins. "...and this is…"

"Ahahaha!!! I can feel the inspiration bursting forth!!!" 

"That person is…"

"You know Tsukinaga-senpai?" Anzu blinked.

"No. But I met him once in a park. He was about to vandalize a park bench while having inspiration. That's why I offered some blank papers to him."

"I see. That person is the leader of Knights."

"Eh? Is that true?"

"Yes. Hard to believe, right? He looks like that, yet he is the one who made Knights and its concept." Anzu laughed.

"...But, Knights is having practice lesson… Why is he here alone?" I mused.

"Tsukinaga-senpai… has a habit of wandering around. I heard he took a leave from school right after he made Knights in favor of travelling the world and met some aliens."

"Eh? Eeehh??!!! Alien?!"

"Yep. But his composing ability is undoubtedly prodigy level."

"I see… Amazing…"

"Tsukinaga-senpai!!!!" Anzu suddenly yelled.

"An-Anzu?"

"Let's go." Anzu pulled me along with her.

"Wa-wait."

"Tsukinaga-senpai, Knights is having practice, why are you here?"

"Oh, Anzu. I am bursting with inspiration. I better write it down before I forgot." Tsukinaga-san replied.

"But you will get scolded by student council for vandalizing school properties." Anzu reasoned calmly. Now I am certain he does this daily.

"Ano… if it's okay with you, you can write them here." I pulled out some blank papers from my messenger back and a pen.

"Hmm… you are…" He squinted his eyes. "Ah! You are that paper girl."

"Tsukinaga-senpai. Her name is Raika."

"Then, Raika it is." His eyes suddenly widened. "It comes again!!!! New inspiration!!!" He grabbed the papers and started writing down his inspiration.

Right after we finished touring, a member of the student council, Isara Mao-san, came to get us back in the office. "Hisaki-san, do you know what kind of proposal your president sent to me?"

"I…am not sure… ?"

"Fufu. Your president is making a very interesting proposal."

"Is that so…? And this somehow involved me?" I blinked.

"More or less." He laughed softly. "She proposed a limited time to exchange students. Each of our school will send one representative as an exchange student and will become a student of the said school. This is a very interesting idea and a good opportunity to reconnect with sister school. We can also learn and expand our knowledge. Apparently she has chosen the candidate from Kimisaki Academy."

"...Knowing how our president is… she might have chosen me."

"Correct." 

"President Tachibana really favor me for some reason. But… I am not from an idol course. I don't have the qualifications to be a candidate. I must respectfully decline."

"Normally that would be the case. But, just like Anzu-san has said. Input from the general public is important. Considering how our school is made up of idols, this is quite difficult to achieve. The regular courses are more or less also influenced by the school system. So, a new opinion from someone who isn't influenced by the school system is extremely valuable. In other words, you are a perfect candidate."

"I…"

"Let's give it a try." Anzu quipped. "I am excited to be in the same school with you again. Even though it's only for 1 month."

As I opened my mouth to answer, my phone vibrates, indicating a new message. "Please excuse me." I unlocked my phone and saw a message from Yumemi-san.

"I have gotten the approval and stamp from the principal."

"Eh???!!"

"What's wrong?" Anzu inquired.

"Yumemi-san has already gotten the approval from our headmaster."

"Fufufu. She is quick to do something. What's your decision, Hisaki-san?"

"Understood. I will gratefully accept the offer. Please take care of me." I bowed.

"Marvelous. I will arrange your transfer to Anzu-san's class."

"Thank you very much." And so, it begins my one months stay as an exchange student. ~"~

The news travels fast. A lot of students have known about the exchange student and hound me every chance they get. More specifically asking about Kimisaki Academy. So, I am running away hiding from them. I just feel a little overwhelmed. I have been hiding away in one of the many rooms in this school. I just hope I didn't intrude the user.

The room is dark, the windows and binda have been closed, preventing sunlight from coming in. I have been hiding here for 15 minutes. I guess it's time to go back to my class or Anzu.

"Mmn.." My heart leapt to my throat when I heard a voice.

'Some…someone is here!!!!' My eyes met a pair of a familiar red eyes. "Sa-Sakuma-san?!" I whispered.

"...My pillow…" He wobbly walked to me.

"W-wait, Sakuma-san."

"Nope. My pillow is back." He leaned his weight to me again, head on the crook of my neck. "And call me Ritsu. I don't like my last name that much."

"Then, Ritsu-san, the sofa over there is much more comfortable than me." I slid down due to his weight.

"You are much more comfortable." He wrapped his hands around me, enough to prevent me from escaping.

"Ritsu-san… I still have lessons."

"...zzzz…." I sighed helplessly. "I should probably tell Anzu." I quickly texted Anzu and asked for help. I got her reply few moments later. "No worries. Reinforcement is on the way."

While waiting for the reinforcement, I somehow manage to move away from the door onto the sofa legs. "Raika-chan!/Kuma-kun!/Hisaki-san!/Rittsu!" The door opened with a bang, startling me greatly.

"Don't be too loud… I was just about to doze off." Ritsu-san complained as he held me tighter.

"Ritsu-chan. Raika-chan still has her class. You can't hog her." Narukami-san scolded.

"Oh! Inspiration!!!" Tsukinaga-san suddenly yelled and started writing on the floor.

"Ritsu-senpai, we have our own practice." Suou-san frowned.

"No… My pillow will run away if I let go." He whined.

"...umm… I promise I will come to see you practice after school is over. So, can you let me go for now?" I tried to compromise.

"...Promise?"

"Yes. I promise." I showed him my pinkie.

"Okay… then I will come get you after school." We hooked our pinkie. And he then very reluctantly pried himself off me with great difficulty. They look amazed at what is transpiring.

"Raika-chan. Can I talk to you for a moment?" Narukami-san smiled excitedly.

"Ah, yes." In short, Narukami-san wanted me to present in every of their practices so Ritsu-san would also participate. I don't really mind and Anzu is also okay with that. She also sent me a knowing smirk. ~"~

So, I have been spending a lot of time with them after school. Arashi-san ah, Arashi-neesan promised Ritsu-san a 15 minute cuddling session with me after practice. Of course if they practice until late night, it will be done before I have to go home.

I have also gotten closer to the point I call them with their first name, with honorifics of course. And well, it seems like Leo-san also likes to join our 15 minutes break because he said he is always overflowing with inspiration when he is near me. I somehow become his muse or something along that line.

Sena-san is like a mother hen that keeps nagging me to do my homework when they are practicing and he also helped to tutor me along with Tsukasa-san and Arashi-neesan. Sometimes they also offered to walk me home, but I declined because they have just finished practice and need to rest. And as a compromise I will have to have the call on right until I arrive home. They are a bunch of protective and worrywart knights.

And seeing them like this also brings me some inspiration. I… am secretly composing a song, about knights who brought their princess to a party as an escort. No no no, I didn't imagine myself as their princess at all… well, maybe a little bit… and… I might also be crushing on them hard. And I will definitely not say that outloud. I mean, saying I like 5 of them. I will come out as bitch. No matter how I see it, I am a bitch. So, this is forever my secret.

"So, which one do you like the most?" Anzu casually asked me as we were eating in a certain cafe in our town. I choke on the tea I am drinking.

"Are you alright?" She offered me a napkin. I take it and wipe any excess of the tea.

"Why are you asking that kind of question?" 

"Because your dream is to be a handsome knight's bride. So I am curious as to who will be your handsome knight. They are all good looking."

"All idols are good looking." I rolled my eyes.

"But not all idols are knights." She countered. "So tell me, which one?"

"...no one…" I sipped my tea again.

"I know when you lie. And right now you are lying." She grinned. "Ritsu-san? He is very touchy with you and you didn't mind it. Or Izumi-san? Rumor says that he is tamer around you. Maybe Suou-kun? A textbook model knight. Tsukinaga-senpai? He is that type of adventurous knight. You won't get bored with him, I guess. Or maybe Arashi-neesan? She is still biologically male."

"It's really no one." I denied, red faced.

"You are denying that with this kind of red face. No one will believe you." Anzu cocked her brow. "Should we call everyone from Kimisaki Academy and see what they have to say?"

"No no no!! There's no need to do that!!!" I shrieked.

"Then you better tell me which one."

I sit back down and think for a while. "...don't know…"

"Eh?"

"I really don't know." I shook my head and slumped my head on the table. "They are all wonderful people. Well, even though they have some strange quirks. But… I… no, they deserved a better partner than me." I felt tears pooled in my eyes.

"What happened?" So in the end, I spilled it all to Anzu. No matter what, Anzu is tight lipped. So, I don't need to worry about my secret being leaked.

"I see. I know where you are coming from. But well… you have only met them for 3 weeks. It's too early to say whether you are in love with them or just liking them as people. I don't think this is a bad thing. There's no right or wrong answer. Only people's thoughts made that so. For now, just enjoy your time together. Who knows, you might find your answer. And no matter what you choose, I will support you."

"Thank you, Anzu…" I smiled lightly.

"You are very welcome." She smiled back. "Let's go. We still need to shop for our Halloween's decoration."

"Yes!" I nodded. ~"~

Halloween is near, and after the Halloween festival, my one month is up. This might be a good thing too. I am starting to have trouble keeping myself in check. I almost blurted out I like you guys every time I see them. Though I guess it can be interpreted as I like you guys simply because you are all amazing people. But deep down in my heart, I know I want that to be interpreted as I like you guys because I am in love with 5 of you. That's what made it dangerous.

If I move back to Kimisaki Academy, this feeling might fade. And I think that's the best way. Well, even if, I said if by chance they wanted to be more involved with me romantically, society won't be so forgiving. Not to mention the backlash on their career. And I'd hate to be the one who breaks their dream as idols. Even if I have to hurt myself. I don't want to ever hurt them. 

And helping Anzu decorating the Halloween festival is a very excellent and valid excuse to slowly distance myself from them. I just need to make it like it wasn't intentional. ~"~

The Halloween festival is a huge success. In addition, we got to mend Sakuma brother's relationships, even if only a little. Now, it's finally time for me to leave this place. One month. Just in one month, I have experienced a lot of fun memories. I will forever treasure these memories of mine deep inside my heart. Who knows… maybe someday, I can reminisce about these memories with them with laughter.

I take one last long look at the Yumenosaki Academy. "Goodbye." I bowed and walked away. "Bwaaah!!" Only to crash into a solid wall.

"What a bad girl you are, Rai-chan. Leaving without saying goodbye to us." My ears registered Arashi-neesan's voice.

"Arashi-neesan?" I rubbed my sore red nose which collided with no other than Sena-san. They have changed their outfit again, to the usual Knights' uniform plus cape.

"Kuma-kun, Kasa-kun." Sena-san called.

"Yes!/Yes~~~" Ritsu-san and Tsukasa-san suddenly hooked their arms to each of mine, literally lifting me up from the ground.

"Eh? Ritsu-san? Tsukasa-san? What are you-?" But they are all just smiling happily, ignoring my flabbergasted expression. I was brought to Anzu's with a very big and suspicious smile on her face. She helped me to get changed into a dress and then I was escorted again to the usual Knights' practice room. "Huh? What are we doing here?"

"Ahahahaha!" When the door opened, I could clearly hear Leo-san's laughter. The room itself has been decorated like a ballroom. I wonder where they get the big hanging chandelier and long red carpet from. Ritsu-san and Tsukasa-san finally released their hold on me. They stand in two lines and Leo-san walks to me and suddenly knelt in front of me, followed by the others. "Princess, welcome to the Knights secret party." He held his gloved hand out for me. 

"Ah?" I was so stunned that I couldn't even reply. 

"Ara? Our princess is so shy today." Arashi-neesan remarked, giggling slightly.

"Sorry, I was-" The rest of the words were cut off by a familiar tune of the recorded piano. "This is…"

(Note: lyrics translation is taken from ensemble-star.fandom.com. Translation credit goes to Kana)

Let us invite you tonight,

and make all your dreams come true.

To that place full of light,

please take our hands

and let us escort you.

Leo-san took my hand to his as he got up from kneeling position. He then slowly guided me to the center of the room to dance.

I want to hold you close… I want to protect you.

That smile of yours that reflected on my eyes

can make me forget even my sadness.

Your eyes,

… Please don’t avert them from mine.

Then, Arashi-neesan switches with Leo-san. "How do you-" Her finger is on my lips to silence me while still giving me a wink.

Please look at me, I’m right here.

Let’s make a promise that we’ll always be proud of.

If it’s for your sake… I will continue to shine.

I’ll stay by your side

forever.

Again, Sena-san switches in. "Sena-san, Did Anzu-" Again, before I finished speaking, I was cut off again. This time Sena-san pulled me into his arms. I let out a small squeak due to the sudden closeness. 'Too close.' My eyes swam as cheeks reddened. 

If you say that you want to see a dream,

then right now,

I’ll perform a miracle for you.

Ritsu-san switches in. Unlike lethargic Ritsu-san in the day, tonight he seems full of energy more so than usual. Maybe because he is a vampire and today is Halloween?

"Ritsu-san…" I called softly. Ritsu-san will surely answer me, right? With a soft mischievous smile, he leans in close to my ear and sings out the lyrics. Making this the 4th time I was left unanswered.

I want to hold you close,

and sing you a song just as bright.

I’ll take this jewel

and turn it into a ring of gold.

Let us invite you tonight

and make all your dreams come true.

To that place full of light,

please take our hands and let us escort you.

The last one to switch in is Tsukasa-san. Tsukasa-san will definitely talk. He is the type that will answer if asked. And he can't lie. "Tsukasa-san, where do you get this song?" But, today he was definitely influenced by all of his senpais. 

You can’t hide it if it’s a ring, can you?

I don’t want to hurt what’s precious to me.

Remaining as a knight for someone I hold dear is okay,

...even if it’s forever.

Instead of answering, Tsukasa-san gave me a kiss on the back of my hand. "Tsu-Tsukasa-san?!" 

The twinkling stars will always continue to shine so...

Let’s forget our names and swear right here and now.

I’ll continue to shine... If it’s only for your sake.

I’ll shine by your side always.

I’m sure we’ll meet in a dream again.

If it’s just a key to my heart, I’ll give it to you.

Leo-san then takes my hand again, this time I was placed on the throne that was placed there.

“...Welcome.”

Let us take you to a party

where knights gather.

Oh, beautiful Princess,

will you dance with me?

Let us invite you tonight

and make all your dreams come true.

To that place full of light,

please take our hands and let us escort you.

This string of fate...

If it reaches you, it will connect us together.

If ever we meet,

all of my feelings,

I will offer to you.

When I look at you,

I feel like even becoming a star is possible.

A brilliance that’s so beautiful...

I’ll offer you everything I am so,

let us make all those dreams you saw

come true tonight.

Oh, beautiful Princess...

take our hands and let us escort you.

Forever... Please watch over our stage.

The song is finally finished. To be honest, perfect is the only word I can use to describe them. This is the best farewell party that I have ever received in this lifetime.

"What do you think of our surprise party, Rai-chan?" Arashi-neesan smiled.

"As I thought, I really like you all." I answered with the biggest and the happiest smile. ~"~

It has been three days since my little farewell party from Knights. Apparently, right after that, other units from the idol course crash into our party, claiming to be sad about being left out in the farewell party. I spent the last day with them full of laughter and smiles. 

Now I am back in Kimisaki Academy as a regular student. I can't help but miss them terribly. I am just glad that my confession (only known to me) was not replied. I mean, that must be interpreted as I like you guys as people, to which I am very glad and a little bit sad. 'But this is fine. This is for the best. It's not like I can't meet them anymore. When the days come, I… can finally talk to them as friends.'

Back in Kimisaki Academy, I shared a lot of fun stories with my classmates and Yumemi-san. Of course I keep the stories about my time with Knights to myself. As selfish as this might sound. I don't want to share this to them. They are my most precious memories…

Most students usually leave the school grounds after the last bell rings, except for students with club activities. But today, they seem to be hanging around the school entrance, whispering to each other. "I wonder what happened?" I tilted my head.

"There she is, our runaway princess." 

"..." I might have heard it wrong, but why does it sound like Sena-san's voice?

"Runaway princess?" I blinked. A group of five boys walk to me. 

"Rai-chan…" Ritsu-san quickly latched himself to me.

"Eh? Ritsu-san? Everyone? Why are you here? No, more importantly, outsiders shouldn't be allowed to enter." I panicked, thinking they might have broken rules.

"Don't worry, Rai-chan. We haven't broken any rules. We properly got permission to run an errand." Arashi-neesan smiled.

"Run an errand? Five of you?"

"Raika. Don't take my inspiration with you." Leo-san latched to the other side.

"So…sorry… I didn't mean to?" I replied.

"Leader, please behave yourself." Tsukasa-san sighed.

"Then, what kind of errand do you guys need to do? I can take you to the student council office." I offered. Well, a chance to spend some time with them. I don't want to miss it.

"Errand from Tenshi has finished. We are now finishing our own errand." Leo-san grinned.

"That is…?"

"Escorting our runaway princess back to the castle." Sena-san rolled his eyes.

"...hai…?"

"Rai-chan. It's unfair that you left us hanging after confessing like that." Ritsu-san whispered.

I jumped at the sudden whisper. "Con-confession?!" Blush made its way to my face again. 'How do they find out?!'

"Your face looks like you were asking how do we find out?" Arashi-neesan grinned. I truly look like a deer caught in the headlights.

"H…How…?"

"That's because we like you as much as you like us." Tsukasa-san unexpectedly answered with such a straight face. You will think he will be embarrassed saying something like this.

"E…eh?"

"Since you still can decide who will be your handsome knight, we-"

"!!!!Where did you hear that?!!!!" I shrieked. "It must be Anzu telling you, right? Right? Right?" I clamped Sena-san's mouth with my hand.

"Anzu-chan might accidentally leak to us your childhood dream." Arashi-neesan giggled.

"Anzu, you traitor…" I sobbed.

"Well, thanks to her, we know all of us still have the chance of winning. So until the day you decide which of us you like the most. We will fight for your affection fair and square." Leo-san grinned. Somehow, his knight mode is activated. "As a king of knights, I won't lose."

"If it means I can take a nap with Rai-chan everytime I want, I won't lose too."

"I-I won't lose to senpais too. I am also a knight."

"Hehehe. I can spend more time with her anyway. I will seize the victory."

"Hmph! I can tutor her every time I want. I will spend a lot of time on our study date."

"Eh? Wait?! Let me process this first!"

"Then, the first step is, transfer to our school." They said in unison.

"EEEEEHHHHHH????!!!!!"

PINK KKOMAS KOHAKU OUKAWA 82

Spoiler for my stories

Your styling your hanii hair up to be an ice cream when you see reaper run back holding box of gifts and wheeling other things as well behind him, he almost tripped if not for CHAu Kohaku using magic to levitate him from crushing to the snow.

That he prepared for many months. Because they wish to finally see spring with him, their precious winter blossom.

[thebeeshaveknees]

Ritsu usually smelled dinner when he walked in the door. It wasn't Shigeo's job - it was just that he always made dinner when their parents were away, which they were more and more often. It wasn't really a rule, just that Shigeo had no clubs so he was always home earlier.

He usually smelled dinner, but sometimes Shigeo would get focused on his homework, would lose track of his extra hour. Ritsu didn't mind, he just went to the kitchen and looked in the fridge.

There were containers.

The Kageyama household had a great many glass bowls with lids and off-brand Tupperware - from when Ritsu and Shigeo were younger and couldn't use the stove when Mom and Dad were gone. It seemed like everything that could store food was stuffed full and packed in the refrigerator - all with notes, dates a few days to a week or two in the future even though their parents would be home in two days and stay there for the rest of the month. All the notes had a little smiley face, all the notes were written in Shigeo's sloppy penmanship.

Was Shigeo going somewhere? Was there a school trip he never brought up - when did he have the time for all this? Ritsu would admit he slept like the dead, but Shigeo wouldn't stay up all night to cook, Ritsu was fully capable of making his own food.

He closed the fridge, deciding that figuring out why Shigeo had packed his lunches for weeks was a bit more important than his brother studying for five minutes.

He walked up the stairs, listening for anything. Usually Shigeo did his homework at the table because he was very meticulous about the 'no pencils in your room' rule, but Ritsu brushed it off.

He knocked on his brother's door, even though the light was off. There was no answer, so he cracked the door open.

His room was empty, empty of him, empty of any sign of him. He had nothing in his room but a rolled up futon and a dresser bolted to the wall with toddler locks on all the drawers. He couldn't have anything else in case his powers started acting up.

He opened the door all the way - it didn't make sense, he had walked to school with Shigeo that morning like normal and he hadn't said anything about a school trip. A school trip would be the only reason Shigeo wasn't home.

He saw something that made the hairs on his neck stand up.

There was a pencil on the floor. Shigeo never left stuff out on his floor, especially sharp objects. Why would he break the rule now?

He picked up the pencil and took it to his room to put in his pencil cup because it was there or the dining room and Ritsu didn't feel like going down and up the stairs.

His eyes immediately found the envelope on his desk that he didn't put there.

He dropped the pencil in the cup and sat at his desk to look at the note.

'Outoto' was written in chicken scratch handwriting. Shigeo only called Ritsu that when he was in a really good mood - like when Ritsu did well on a test - so he felt the stress lighten. Maybe this would explain the food?

He opened the envelope and unfolded the paper inside.

The paper was covered in blotchy gray-pinks from using the cheap eraser on the back of the pencil. Ritsu picked up the pencil again and noted that the eraser had worn down to the metal.

'Ritsu,

I made some food, it's in the fridge.

I don't know what people should write on these, I didn't want to look it up.

Maybe I should have, you deserve a good letter.

You're reading this, so you're home from student council - or you're not Ritsu, in which case, this letter isn't for you please stop reading.

It's gonna rain pretty hard after school, so I didn't make as big a mess - I hope nothing stains, that would be gross.

I don't really have a lot of stuff, but you can have that flannel that used to belong to dad. You can have all my clothes, actually. '

Ritsu stopped reading, rereading the last few sentences over a few times, his mind drawing a blank. He kept reading.

'I won't get to see you graduate, I don't think. I'm a bit sad about that, but I know you'll work hard, so know I'm proud of you when you do.'

Did Shigeo… Did Shigeo run away? Ritsu reread the sentence, holding the paper with one hand so he could tug nervously at the short hair in front of his ear.

'I had this planned for a while, though. I just wanted you to hear it from me and not whoever they send to tell people their brother is dead.'

The word was written sloppily, just like all the other words - maybe Ritsu just misread it. He studied every line, looking for anything that could make any letter look like any other letter - he couldn't find any. There was more note.

'I probably should have looked that up, too.

I guess I should tell you why I did it? You would probably try to blame yourself - you're caring like that.

I guess I don't really have a use, do I? I'm not smart or strong or sociable, and I sometimes hurt people without meaning to. I'm not happy that I'm alive, and neither is anyone else. If I die today the rain will wash me away, so I won't leave a stain anywhere.

I'm sorry about that day. I was too scared to say it, but I'm so so sorry, I never wanted to hurt you like I did, but that doesn't make it better.

I wanted to see you grow up, but I also wanted to never scare you - I can't have both, I don't think. I'm not that bright, but I've been trying for a very long time.

Anyways, I love you, don't microwave the plastic bowls.

- Shigeo'

Ritsu stood from his desk, walked a circle around his room, sat back down, and reread the note.

'Anyways, I love you, don't microwave the plastic bowls.'

He stood up, checked Shigeo's room, checked his parents bedroom, checked the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, both bathrooms, the pantry and the fridge again.

He walked back to his room, took the note, and read it downstairs at the dining room table.

'Anyways, I love you, don't microwave the plastic bowls.'

He dragged up a chair and sat in front of the front door, watching it. Shigeo must have made some bad friends - some very bad friends, who peer pressured his brother into playing this very cruel prank. Well, he wasn't so easily convinced. Did his brother even know what this note was implying? It was almost funny - hilarious actually - because Shigeo wouldn't do that.

He just wouldn't - Ritsu knew him better than anyone, knew every side of him even the side that wasn't him but used his body and his powers with reckless abandon.

Maybe he should act surprised, Shigeo had never tried pranking before, maybe he would even smile if he thought his little plan worked. Ritsu could do that, he was an excellent actor, he could even cry on command apparently, because he felt hot tears itch his cheeks. He wouldn't wipe them away though - this is what Shigeo wanted, wasn't it? To see his brother break down in the shoe hallway because he thought he was dead. It was fine, maybe this prank working would encourage him to open up more - find better friends that didn't make Shigeo play these terrible, terrible pranks.

He watched the door, waited for Shigeo to come home late, to apologize for making Ritsu cry like this, to explain that some of his classmates made him. Maybe they were holding a piece of homework hostage - Shigeo couldn't afford to miss any assignments, he would do anything they said as long as he got his homework back. It was fine, Shigeo couldn't have known he would make Ritsu cry, he would come home and they would both eat some of the stuff in the fridge and maybe they could rewatch that kids movie they were both obsessed with when they were seven and eight.

He got up out of his chair, dragged it back to the dining room, then found the old DVD in a case with flaking faded colours. He popped it in the player, made sure it was at the beginning and then paused it at the one second mark so Shigeo could watch it when he got home. He went to the kitchen, pulled out two glass bowls labeled with a date two days from then and put them in the microwave. He didn't turn it on yet, he would do that when Shigeo got home so his meal would be warm.

He went back to the table, grabbed the letter and went back to the shoe hallway.

He was still crying, he let the tears drip down his face even though the tracks they made were cold and irritating. He sat down on the floor of the shoe hallway, curled in on himself.

Maybe if he looked like he was breaking down, Shigeo would feel worse and come home sooner.

He stared at the floor over his knees and hiccuped. It echoed through the quiet house.

He hiccuped again, and coughed, and tried to take a deep breath but it stuttered a few times and then he let it out and it was louder than he meant and hitched at the end.

He held the note in shaky fingers, and read it over again.

'I made some food, it's in the fridge.'

Ritsu knew, he saw it - but he wasn't hungry anymore. He would eat his bowl when Shigeo got home, they could eat together even if neither really wanted to.

'Anyways, I love you, don't microwave the plastic bowls.'

Ritsu wouldn't, he didn't do that anymore, but Shigeo still didn't like the white rings on some of the containers - he didn't say anything about them, just picked at them with his nail even though it barely made a difference.

Ritsu loved Shigeo, too, he would say it just as soon as he got back. He'd tell him every day if he needed to, even though it's embarrassing to say those things when you're a teenager. He didn't care if the whole student body thought he was a sniveling baby brother, so long as he walked to school with Shigeo the next morning.

He had a student council meeting the next morning before school - he didn't even care, he should walk with Shigeo to school, there would be a million more trite meetings like that one.

Longer and longer he waited.

Longer and longer the door stayed closed.

He closed his eyes to blackened windows and then woke up to the sound of the deadbolt clicking open. His heart jumped, fresh tear tracks covered the old ones, he leaned forward toward the door as the handle turned and…

It was Mom.

Her eyes were red - bloodshot. She was home early.

"R-Ritsu? Dear? Are you--?" She saw the note in his hand, and she started crying. "Honey, we're… we're going to the hospital."

Ritsu nodded, not entirely convinced he was lucid as he picked himself up off the cold floor and went to the family car, walking around to sit behind Mom because Shigeo always sat behind Dad.

The car ride was silent, then the walk from the parking lot to the hospital. His mom was squeezing his hand, she was talking. Dad looked pale, his eyes staring into nothingness.

She was talking to the lady at the front desk, then a man from behind the desk started talking and left. Mom followed, Dad followed, Ritsu was dragged along, looking at the sparse art on the walls. He heard a thing once that hospital walls were blue and green because it was soothing - Ritsu didn't think he believed it.

Then he was brought to a dark room with only one bed in it with a person with a sheet over them.

His mom squeezed his hand, moving forward but stretching her arm back so she wouldn't force Ritsu to move. She raised one corner of the blanket, he couldn't see anything, but then she sobbed, and so did his dad. They wrapped around each other, sandwiching him in the middle, and they cried. He stared at the sheet.

They tried to leave, but he couldn't remember how to move his feet. He picked at the sheet. He'd seen scenes like this in his TV dramas sometimes, he knew there was a corpse under the sheet.

A firm hand gripped his shoulder and he tried to flinch away, his thigh bumping the flimsy cot and making him lift the sheet more than he meant to.

A limp hand fell into the dim light, wrist up and fingers half-curled hung lazily off the side of the thin mattress. He was wearing his school uniform, they were both wearing the same school uniform.

This joke was taken much too far.

What were the five stages of grief again? Denial? Is that what this was?

He slid his hand into that cold palm - colder than usual, paler than usual, a little damp from the rain. He put his fingers between Shigeo's - because they were Shigeo's - and squeezed.

Dad was talking, maybe to him, it was certainly his hand on his shoulder - too warm, burning, suffocating.

He let his hand go, but Shigeo didn't move.

He was wrapped in too-tight pressure, too-warm arms that gave him too-little space and shoved himself away.

His Dad said nothing, Ritsu didn't bother looking up, just followed him and Mom out of the room.

He went home and thought about Shigeo the whole way.

Mom left the car, took Ritsu with her and left Dad staring lost in front of him - gripping the steering wheel of the already parked car. There were tears running down his face - Dad had cried before, but never this quietly. He didn't really think about it, though. He didn't really want to leave the car either.

Mom went in, flapping her hands to dry them of water that wasn't there, toed her shoes off and left them strewn - that didn't look right, so Ritsu fixed them before hearing a loud thump from the kitchen.

He put his shoes on his part of the shelf, then went to see what made the noise.

His mother was on the floor, legs in a W like an untrained toddler's as she stared silently into the open fridge.

The fridge was filled with food, food Ritsu had seen earlier, every container marked with its own note, with care, with the dates they should be eaten by in handwriting Ritsu could tell his brother tried to make neat.

Shigeo had prepared for this, knew it would happen - no - planned for it to happen. Took time and consideration and worked hard for them, for his family. He even wrote Ritsu a note - a note he still had, folded in his pocket - even though the words were stiff and disjointed and it was clear he didn't want to write it at all.

It finally hit Ritsu, at that moment, staring at stupid off-brand Tupperware. Shigeo had done this on purpose. He wanted to die, only cared that he would be leaving his family and gave them a week or two of pre-made meals like his slightly-above-mediocre cooking skills were all that would be taken when he left.

It felt like the earth shifted, like he'd lost his footing on reality, like he was weightless and detached from everything.

Then his mother's head started whipping around like she was looking for a ghost.

Then all the drawers opened, spoons and forks and tongs all let go of gravity, and began swirling around the room like when Shigeo had a breakdown. Ritsu whipped around to face the door, because maybe - maybe.

But no. Shigeo wasn't there, but the spoons still danced around. He looked up to watch them.

They were circling him.

That's just cruel.

read this before interacting with my posts

For some reason, the man who was taking pictures on the streets was in the Sakuragi's living room.

Right when I was feeling surprised...

???: You're... the rumoured princess of the Sakuragi?

MC: Princess?

I was stunned by the sudden random title.

Princess... —— There's no princess here, but we have someone similar to that.

MC: Um.

MC: We do have a King.

???: Ahaha you must be referring to Kanade.

I was becoming increasingly confused by his reaction.

Koki patted me on the shoulder and smiled bitterly.

Koki: Makoto is a journalist from the 'Yuzuriha Publishing House'. He's well-known for his scoop articles.

Koki: Looks like he's pretty good at his job.

Koki: He's usually full of lies, but he doesn't lie in those articles.

While Koki was explaining... —— the man named Makoto laughed in a seemingly troubled manner.

Makoto: Hm? I don't like the way you put it

Makoto: I have never once told a lie.

Koki: That itself is a lie.

While listening to their exchange,

I remembered that I saw Makoto standing outside the Sakuragi, holding a camera.

(A reporter here at the Sakuragi.)

Out of curiosity, I asked Makoto about it.

MC: By any chance, are you here to interview 'F'?

(That's most likely what a journalist is here for, right?)

After giving it some thought, Makoto answered with a smile.

Makoto: Ah I do hope we'll get the opportunity to have an exclusive interview with 'F' one day.

Makoto: If I were to publish an article about 'F', the sales would soar for sure.

Makoto: But that's not what I'm here for.

Makoto: Today, I'm here for Aizumi.

Makoto twirled his hair around his finger.

He gave Koki a meaningful look.

Koki took a small breath.

Koki: I see.

Makoto: Yep.

MC: ...?

(What on earth is going on in this conversation?)

I watched as the two of them seemed to understand each other despite being silent.

Koki stands up and offers to show Makoto to the household head's side of the Sakuragi.

Makoto: Ah that reminds me.

Makoto, who was about to leave with Koki, turned around and came back as if he forgot something.

He approached Gaku, who had been sitting on the sofa this whole time with his knees up.

MC: ...! Since when were you here, Gaku?!

Until now, I didn't even realise that Gaku was there.

Gaku turned his sleepy gaze to me and answered bluntly.

Gaku: Um... the whole time.

(I didn't notice him!)

Makoto burst out laughing and handed some photos to Gaku.

Makoto: Here. Take these as souvenirs.

Gaku received the photos and glared daggers at Makoto.

Gaku: ...

Makoto: You look like you have something you want to tell me.

Makoto: But let's save that for our next meeting. See ya, Gaku.

(Souvenirs? I wonder if Makoto has known Gaku for a long time.)

I stared at Makoto as he walked away with Koki.

Ritsu, who had just come home, entered the living room.

Ritsu: ... Makoto.

Makoto: Oh, Ritsu, your older brother said he wanted to meet you.

Makoto: Your brother is always smiling.

(What? Ritsu has an older brother?)

Ritsu wasn't happy at all, unlike Makoto.

Ritsu: ...

He looked away and said,

Ritsu: Mind your own business.

Makoto: I see.

Makoto didn't seem to be affected, he just continued walking with a smile on his face.

Ritsu went up to Gaku, who was sitting on the sofa, and stood in front of him.

He asked Gaku without trying to hide his displeasure.

Ritsu: Why is Makoto here?

Ritsu: Is he here to stay on a whim again? And where is he going with Koki?

Gaku: ... Oh come on.

The two went to Koki's room.

Makoto plopped himself down on the sofa and immediately asked Koki a question.

Makoto: It's about 'Own The Night'.

Makoto: I'm digging up information about these secret by-invite-only live performances.

Koki: ...

Koki remained silent, his facial expression unchanging.

Makoto: I'll be frank with you.

Makoto: Aizumi, you're the organizer of those live performances, aren't you?

Koki: ...

Koki stared at Makoto with a sharp gaze we don't usually see.

Makoto simply laughed it off.

He pulled a small notebook out of his jacket's pocket.

Makoto: Ah... don't get your guard up like that.

Makoto: I just want to have an interview with you.

Makoto: That's all.

Koki sighed as he glanced at the neatly written notes Makoto showed him.

Koki: Makoto. You have connections with the Director of the Music Control Bureau, Fujishiro Meguru, don't you?

Koki: You can't expect me to not be wary around you given these circumstances.

Koki: Well... I don't recall ever doing anything that will get me arrested.

When Koki tried to feign ignorance, Makoto laughed out loud.

Makoto: Ahaha. Is that so?

Makoto: Like you said, I am indeed on good terms with Meguru. We're drinking buddies.

Makoto: But aren't you also good friends with him?

Makoto rested his chin in his hand on his lap.

He looked up at Koki and said,

Makoto: I am no one's friend or foe.

Makoto: I side with neither justice nor evil.

Makoto: I'm only interested in finding out the truth.

Makoto: In a world deprived of the freedom to sing, I want to know what kind of people are trying to go against the world and how are they doing it.

For a moment, Makoto's smile disappeared from his face.

Koki widened his eyes slightly ——

Koki: Fine.

He sat down next to Makoto.

Koki: Sigh...

Koki: This is going to get problematic.

A heavy sigh echoed in the room where a conversation had just ended.

——... It has been two weeks since I came to the Sakuragi.

Even though it was late at night, I was writing down any lyrics that came to my mind and immediately crossing them out by drawing a huge 'X'. I repeated that process countless times.

MC: The melody and lyrics don't go together well enough to be considered one song...

I sighed and finally put down my pen.

Ever since I came to the Sakuragi, the new environment had brought me a lot of inspiration to make new songs.

But I was having difficulty concentrating, so I wasn't able to make a complete song.

(The reason why I'm unable to concentrate is because someone is constantly on my mind.)

(I'm aware of it.)

As I leaned back in my chair, I remembered what happened when Makoto paid a visit to the Sakuragi earlier on.

(Makoto claimed to be here for an interview with Koki and not 'F'.)

(What was the purpose of the interview?)

I thought about what kind of information would make an article a good one...

(There is often news about people violating the Music Control Act.)

(They're usually in newspapers and magazines.)

My mind thought of a group of people who called themselves 'Music Liberators'.

They were arrested because their actions were against the law.

They tried to spread a song with a strong message, inciting people to challenge the Music Control Act.

(The Sakuragi has a soundproof music studio.)

(We have many people who make music, take 'F' for example...)

(And it's not illegal to enjoy music in your own home, that's not against the Music Control Act.)

It's not like 'performing' is banned, only 'broadcasting' publicly.

That's because spreading music has the ability to influence society.

I recalled the Music Control Act guidelines I memorised when I received my license to be a piano teacher.

(If not 'F', what other information can you find at the Sakuragi?)

(Perhaps Koki is even more than just the landlord.)

(Or perhaps he has a different side to him like everyone else?)

The more I thought of the possibilities, the more uneasy I felt.

MC: Maybe there's a secret about the Sakuragi I don't know about.

MC: ...

I stared at the ceiling for a moment and suddenly stood up.

MC: Ah— damn it! I got too distracted.

(This won't do. Let's go to another room and see if I'll get anything done.)

I went out into the dark hallway.

The cool night air surrounded me.

(It's really kind of chilly at night.)

(I'm glad I'm dressed properly, instead of being in just a nightgown.)

I walked quietly down the hallway toward the soundproof music room on the first floor.

I remember what Henri said during our tour around the Sakuragi about using the room.

(It's open round the clock, but you have to make a prior reservation.)

(I didn't make a reservation today, but I don't think there will be anyone in there at this timing.)

As I was going down the stairs,

(Hm?)

In the darkness at the end of the staircase, I could see two glowing dots...

MC: ... Wah!

I accidentally screamed but hurriedly covered my mouth with both hands.

(W-what is that?!)

I managed to calm myself down and took a closer look at it.

Standing in the dark hallway was Otto.

Otto: Meow?

I felt relieved when I saw that it was just Otto and pat myself on the chest.

MC: That startled me... good night, Otto.

I walked past Otto and made my way to the soundproof music room.

There was a faint light.

MC: Ah...

The light was coming from the soundproof music room.

(Who is using it at this hour?)

I could hear my own heartbeat getting faster as I grew more tense.

I looked through the glass window on the studio's door to see the inside of the room.

Kanade: ...

(Kanade!?)

Kanade was standing in the middle of the room with his guitar down.

There was a serious expression on his pretty face.

(What is he doing here at this hour?)

[mobbu-min]

omg i just saw ur requests were open aAAA so um can i request a reigen x reader where the reader is shigeo's older sibling and they came to reigen's office to pick shigeo up and reigen now has a crush on them after seeing them?? thank you ^_^ have a great day/night <33

A/N: Omg this is honestly such a cute idea! Reigen would be the biggest simp!

Characters: Reigen Arataka(mp100)

!Warning! none

Crush

“Master, do you have any siblings?”

 The question caught Reigen off guard. Staring at his disciple, he asked, “Why the sudden question?”

 “I was just wondering because you never really talk about your family and you know I have Ritsu and my older sibling.” Shigeo explained, shrugging his shoulders.

 “I gue- Wait, you have another sibling?!” Reigen asked, baffled. He’s well aware of the younger Kageyama, but not once did he expect there to be an older one.

 “Yeah, I’ve mentioned it before.” Shigeo replied, staring at the older man confused. He was sure he mentioned them before to Reigen.

 Reigen tried to remember the mention of another Kageyama, but nothing came to mind. Stumped, Reigen immediately lied to cover up his mistake, “Yeah! I remember you telling me about them!”

 “Really that's good then.” Shigeo responded. As usual Reigen wasn’t 100% sure what was going behind Mob’s head, all he could do is presume it was just an out of the blue question and nothing more.

 A knock at the door caught their attention. Reigen stood up and straightened out his posture, waving a hand at the younger boy. He said, “Go ahead and greet them. I’ll get the things set up.”

 Mob looked at his master confused for a moment then nodded. Walking to the door, Reigen noticed the way his legs didn’t tremble anxiously but seemed relaxed and confident. ‘Maybe he’s finally getting used to the job?’ Reigen thought confused.

“You really are something, Reigen.” Dimple said, appearing out of nowhere.

“What are you doing here? I have work.” Reigen answered, annoyed.

“You really don’t remember?” Dimple asked, picking his nose nonchalantly. Taking Reigen’s silence as an answer, the green spirit sighed, “Damn, they’re really not gonna like you.”

 “Who-” Reigen’s question was instantly cut off by a Mob’s cheerful voice and an even softer voice after. The conman grew nervous as he slowly pieced two and two together. His breath hitched at the sight of Shigeo and his very obvious older sibling trailing behind him.

 Shigeo’s eyes shone brighter than Reigen’s ever seen as he introduced you, “Shinsou, this is my older sibling, (Y/n). They’ve recently came back from grad school and are staying with us again.” Shiego then turned to you and said, “(N/n) this is my master, Reigen Arataka. He’s been helping my with my psychic powers since you’ve left.”

 Taking a step forward, you bowed and smiled pleasantly at the man, “It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Arataka-san. I can’t thank you enough for watching over my little brother.”

 “Uh... Please no need for formalities.” Reigen said nervously, waving his hands around. Averting his eyes from your curious gaze, he stammered “I-its been a pleasure working with him. He’s a great kid. Oh, and it's a pleasure to meet you as well.”

 “He really is!” You chirped, “He talks a lot about his time here over the phone. I can tell he’s learning a lot and having fun.”

 “(N/n), I thought you weren’t going to mention that.” Shigeo whispered, holding onto your sleeve. Laughing, you ruffled his hair affectionately, “Aw, but Shige it's so nice to hear you sound so excited.”

 Reigen watched the two Kageyama siblings interact with each other. It was different compared to how Mob interacts with Ritsu, it was almost parental how you talked and ruffled Shiego’s hair. Reigen could feel his hands grow damp at the sight of you. The way you held yourself and talked was so confident and gentle.  He almost jumped in his spot at your gaze returning to him again. Gulping, Reigen pushed down the heat creeping up his neck.

 “Is it okay if I take Shige early? I don't want to interrupt you if you still need him.” You asked, your voice kind but slightly nervous.

 “No!” Reigen yelled immediately. He instantly regretted this once he saw your shocked face. Clearing his throat, Reigan spoke again, this time much calmer, “I mean, no, Mob is free to go.. Actually I was planning on closing up early.”

 “Really?” You asked curiously.

 “Yup, things have been pretty slow at the moment.” Reigen answered confidently. Thinking it over, Reigen added, “Which is good because that means that Mob and I have been doing a great job at keeping Seasoning City spirit free!”

 You chuckled softly into your sleeved. Reigen wished you didn’t cover your smile, because he thought you had a stunning one. “That's great! I am honored to have such great psychics watching out for this city!”

 “Well, I’m not the Greatest Psychic of the 21st Century for nothing.” Reigen replied, puffing out his chest pridefully.

 “Greatest Psychic?” You repeated, raising your eyebrows in amusement, “That’s quite a mouthful.”

 “It's what happens when you're the best.” Reigen answered. He knew he was getting cocky, but he wanted to impress the person in front of him. Why? He didn’t have an answer yet, but it just felt right.”

 “You’re confident.” You smirked, raising your hand a blue light began to emerge, “Why not a frie-”

 You were instantly cut off by a large gag at the entrance of the door. The three of you turned around to see an irritated Ritsu leaning against the wall, “Will you stop flirting, (n/n)? Because I’m hungry and that food isn’t going to buy itself.”

 “Opps, sorry kiddo. I guess I got distracted, hehe.” You apologized sheepishly. Ritsu scoffed, but his gaze was fond as he stared at your nervous smile. However that fondness didn’t extend to the older man in the room. Glaring at the poor conman, he muttered “Stay away from my sibling, Arataka.”

 Reigen shivered at Ritsu’s protective glare. Your scolding tone cut through the tense air, “Ritsu, stop. I’m a grown adult. Meaning I can talk and interact with whoever I want.”

 Ritsu grumbled angrily and continued to glare at the man. Ritsu might have not been here for very long, but he was observant enough to tell that Reigen was feeling more than friendliness towards his beloved older sibling.

 Sighing, you smiled apologetically at the man, “Sorry to cut his short, but I did promise to take the two out for dinner.”

 “No, I get it. Sibling bonding, right?” Reigen said, trying not to appear disappointed at your quick departure. He wanted to talk to you more.

 “Yeah, it's been awhile since I’ve hung out with the two rascals.” You teased, which earned a loud grumble from Ritsu and a nervous chuckle from Shigeo. Making your way to the exit you wrapped your arms around their shoulders. Turning back, you said, “Maybe we’ll see each other again?”

 “Its possible, I’m normally running around town exorcising spirits and such.”

 “Right.” You said, smiling softly, “Having a good evening, Arataka.”

 “You too.” Reigen responded back. He watched the three Kageyama siblings leave the building. Slumping into his chair, he sighed deeply, “Damn, they were amazing.”

 “Thanks!” You responded, poking your head from the corner. Reigen instantly jumped in shock and embarrassment, stammering out he asked, “Y-yes?”

 “I just came to drop this off.” You said, a white paper glowing blue floated in the air until it landed in Reigen’s sweaty hands. Giggling, you called out, “Let's hang out sometime! I’ve never talked to a pretend psychic before, especially not one as convincing as you!” There was no malice in your tone, just amusement and curiosity. “See you soon!”

 With that you disappeared. With trembling hands, Reigen opened the small paper. In neat handwriting was written out: ‘It’s fun talking to you! Let's hang out some time <3 xxx-xxx-xxxx’

 Reigen didn’t know when was the last time he’s felt like this, but he welcomed it wholeheartedly.

 Reigen could feel his face erupt in a huge warm blush. Covering his face in his hands, Reigen couldn’t stop the large smile making its way to his lips. Giggling like a schoolgirl, Reigen sighed, “Damn, I think I have a crush on them.”

[headmasteringthisschool]

hey, it's me again :0 !! your blog is super cute ! i don't know if you do aus, but do you mind writing demon ritsu, shinobu, kaoru, and/or izumi x an angel fem reader or vice versa? sorry if it's a lot, you don't have to but tysm !!

I hope you like it! I switched between demon so and demon boy, thought it would work better here! thank you for your ask! Now enjoy reading! <3

Demon/Angel AU!

Ritsu Sakuma ~

Ritsu was lazying around, doing nothing more than laying on his cushions and enjoying his own life, of course, it was easier as the brother of the current demon king, but of course that didn't stop Ritsu from pursuing a nearly impossible Lover, and he was just so stunned, when one again this angelic figure walked into the room, a gleam of moonlight following her, " Come here (Y/N), Lay rest with me for a while?"

(Y/N) Shook her head, "you know that I cannot rest with you my dear demon, it would risk my corruption, which we both not want." Ritsu did let out a sigh, it was right he didn't want that just yet but he wanted it for the future, both knew that.

(Y/N) sat down at a table, sweet cakes and fresh tea filling it, and took a bite out of (Your favorite cake), " Only a little longer Ritsu and we can be together but for now, I am the guardian angel of this child and I do not want it to be without one."

Ritsu soon enough stood up and walked to the table himself, carefully not to touch (Y/N)´s hand but sneakingly stealing the cake out of it, Slowly taking a bite. "I know, we will have to see and wait but I just want to be able to sleep with you by my side my love."

Shinobu Sengoku

An Observing demon, who fell for a delivery angel? it sounded ridiculous, but for Shinobo it was real, his Girlfriend (Y/N) regularly helped him deliver the different packages to different types of hell and heaven, of course, she couldn't go to heaven parts but Shinobu always spend some extra time in hell, just to be in her company.

but today,(Y/N) didn't show up, He was sad, but he continued. along with 5th stage of hell, Shinobu heard her voice and went to look for her. To his surprise, (Y/N) was talking to a larger demon and he could only overhear a few words said.

"you should tell him/ I'm not mad / just be happy/"

A few minutes later, with Shinobu still in hiding, (Y/N) bumps into him when taking a corner, " Shinobu! I was searching for you, are you okay?" Shinobu wasn't sure, was he okay? " I heard you talk to someone earlier... are you okay?"

(Y/N) blushed of a sort only Shinobu could make her blush, how much did he hear? was her only mental question, " I am, I recently..." as a blushed mess, she pressed a piece of paper into his hands, it was a sort of allowance letter from the heavens, giving her permission to travel alongside him to heaven but only if Shinobu stays by her side.

with wide eyes, Shinobu looked at (Y/N) and tackled her into a hug, " Of course! please come with me! " He gave her a small peck on the cheek and they went on their way to deliver the last packages.

Kaoru Hakaze~

Kaoru was once again, tagging along with Rei to the heavens, a business meeting with The Archangel Eichi, but Kaoru was rather interested in the Pretty Angel Secretary, her beautiful hair and those pretty (insert secondary color of your wings here), He definitely had fallen in love...

" My pretty (Y/N), would you go on a date with me this time? I promise I'm not going to corrupt you." Kaoru spoke out, once (Y/N) walked by. A blush was seeing on the angel's face and she turned around as if nothing else mattered and pressed a kiss onto his lips, " I don't mind anymore about getting corrupted, let's go!"

With a smile, both of them walked out of the meeting room, much to an angry Eichis demise and a laughing Rei.

Izumi Sena ~

Oh, what a pretty angel You had laid your eyes on, Heavenly blue eyes and such gray hair it reminded you of rain clouds.

and you longed for him, so you regularly visited him, whenever he had free time, you would find him and spend time with him, Izumi was mostly annoyed but he never outright told you to leave him alone.

For him, this was nearly an invitation! Of course (Y/N) wouldn't refuse it. After a few months of this, Izumi felt himself drawn just as close to (Y/N) as she did to him. Izumi had set out yet another one of his 'invitations' and it was just a little fancy café with some cookies and cakes and the best coffee he ever had.

(Y/N) sat down to Izumi and ordered a (favorite coffee or tea), Izumi for himself a black coffee, without beating around the bush much, Izumi started to talk.

" I want you to stay with me, talk to your boss, you'll move here."

A little flabber gasped, (Y/N) looked into the blue eyes she fell in love with, " For real? that won't be easy..." but Izumi was in fact very serious.

A moment later, he took her hand, putting a tiny but beautiful ring on her finger, " Marry me."  " Of course my darling." (Y/N) agreed, planting a happy little kiss on his hand.

[enstaries]

I don't know how you manage to be able to do so many pairs and scenarios that easily but I admire you, may I have a no-ship scenario of Sakuma brothers solving their differences and stuff? uwu but no ship please ;;

guess what i dont exactly know how i do them either loll,, also i’m happy to be able to do your request! don’t worry tho, i won’t write for any sibling ships either way ee

 "You're late."

  From the darkness, Ritsu emerges like a wisp of fresh air in the Sakuma household, words he spat still hot on his tongue.

  "Oh, it appears so," Rei replies, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. He didn't expect anyone to still be awake at this time, especially not Ritsu, whose red eyes watch him unblinkingly. "I-is that an issue?"

  "No," says Ritsu, then he adds, quickly, "I wasn't waiting for you."

  "I never said you were, Ritsu. Though it does make me happy that there is someone waiting for me at home."

  Ritsu rolls his eyes, and stretches himself like a cat across the sofa. "Whatever."

  The silence continues a little longer, achingly so, then Rei breaks it. "I didn't expect my meeting to end so late either, Ritsu," he tells Ritsu, hanging his coat on the coat hanger. "It went exceedingly well, if you asked me - they even asked us UNDEAD to give them some voice samples. I presume this collaboration will do wonders in spreading our name and increasing our prestige."

  "Yeah, yeah."

  Rei is not going to lie, it does hurt whenever Ritsu ignores him so blatantly. He sighs, ruffling his hair for a bit, then walks past Ritsu.

  Ritsu's eyes follow him.

  "What are you doing?"

  "I'm just going to take a shower, though I have to fetch my pajamas fir-"  "W-wait."

  The bathroom light flickers on, and Rei balks a little at what greets him - neatly folded on the counter are his towel and his pajamas! He whips round, eyes filled with adoration.

  "Ritsu!"

  Even through the poor lighting, Ritsu face visibly pales. "It's not like I did it for you," he says off-handedly, playing with his fingers. "I just thought it'd be nice... and that you'd be tired..."

  "I see." Rei nods. "Ritsu is never honest with himself, so I shall take this as a small victory on it's own. Thank you, Ritsu."

  "O-oi, don't get the wrong idea from this!"  Ritsu is on his feet, fists clenched by his sides. "I said it's nothing!"

  "I see," goes Rei, his voice low. "That is... confusing, to say the least."

  "Huh?"

  Leaning on the bathroom door, Rei folds his arms with a languid sigh. "Oh no, that is but the mutterings of an old man; feel free to pay me no heed. It is just... Ritsu is very different. Sometimes you are warm, but other times you act coldly. I had thought that we were getting along much better now, but perhaps it is just a wild wish of mine. Tragic, is it not?"

  Ritsu is quiet for a while, his brother's words sinking in. When he makes no move to reply, Rei turns away and takes a step into the bathroom.

  "That's not true."

  "Hm?"

  Ritsu is speaking now, his words wavery and uncertain. "I think that after... that event, we did manage to put aside our differences and work together, even for a short period of time. And that... made me happy."

  "Really?" Rei's eyes shine. "It made me happy too, Ritsu. Very happy."

  "But still!" Ritsu presses on. "Even though I want to continue on this road, as normal siblings, I don't know how to do so. I've been... isolating myself from you too long to know how to do so, Anija."

  In the deep night, Ritsu's expression is one of sorrow and of longing; Rei hates that he is the one who did this to him.

  He moves back to the sofa, and stoops down. "Ritsu," he breathes, "look at me."

  Ritsu refuses to make eye contact, but Rei doesn't mind. Instead, his hand wanders over to the top of Ritsu's head, and he strokes his hair fondly.

  "What do you think you're doing?"

  "It's alright, Ritsu." Rei smiles at him, hoping that maybe through this smile, he can convey the warmth only a big brother can feel. "I understand where you come from. That's why you can take it slow. I don't blame you. Is that alright with you, Ritsu?"

  Rei's hand is large and warm atop his head. Ritsu considers everything for a split second, and the answer comes to him naturally.

  He ducks his head down.

  "Yeah."
